To all Lo/tom t may concern:

Be it known that l, ALBERT V. CHAMBER- LIN, a citizen of the United States, residing` at Coeur dAlene, in the county of Kootenai and State of idaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin-Wrappers, of which the following is a specification.

rlhe present invention relates to improvements in coin wrappers, and is designed especially for convenience, facility, and accuracy in handling small coins. The primary object of the invention is the provision of a device that is comparatively inexpensive in first cost, simple in construction and operation, and readily adaptable for use in many different ways.

The invention consists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter set forth and claimed.

ln the accompanying drawings one complete eXample of the physical embodiment of the invention is illustrated, made accordinp; to the best mode so far devised for the practical application of the principles of the invention.

`Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device embodying` the invention.

Fina 2 is a top plan view of the device, partly broken away for convenience of illustration.

Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the device. e

Fig. 4 is an end view of the device, showing a roller or friction device for wrapping' the coins.

. Fig. 5 is a top plan view ofthe device, illustrating the roller or wrapping device in use.

Fig. 6 is a view of the wrapper or friction device.

Fig'. 7 illustrates the use of coin troughs of different sizes that may be applied to the device.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention as illustrated in the drawings, a hollow metallic base or casing 1 is used and preferably provided with a felt or other soft cushion or pad 2 on its bottom, while its top 3 is slotted at 4, and provided with a pocket or depression 5 for convenience in handling the wrapped coins.

-An adjustable stop member 6 passes through a perforation in one end of the casing, and its stop arm 7 passes through the slot 4 in the top 3 and is located 1n position Specification of Letters Patent.

to form an abutment or stop for the first coin that forms part of the series or pack of coins to be wrapped. The abutment device has a knob 8 on the end of the spring; stem 9 which protrudes through the notched slot 10 in the front wall of the casing, and by means of this knob, stem and notched slot, it will readily be apparent, the abutment may be adjusted within the limits of the length of the slot 10, t0 receive coins within the trough 11.

rlhe trough 11 is preferably of metal, and as shown, the abutment arm 7 projects through the open end of the trough sutliciently to retain the first coin therein. The trough is provided with a pair of key-hole slots 12, and the screws 13 are utilized to secure the trough in position adjacent the abutment, and between it and the depression or pocket 5 in the top of the casing. At the other end of the trough, and alined with the adjustable abutment arm 7, is a spring detent 14, designed t0 co-act with the abutment and hold the pack of coins while being; wrapped in the wrapper or paper strip W.

The longitudinally disposed spring detent 14 is fashioned with a post 15 that projects through, and is movable', longitudinally, in the slot 16 in the top of the casing 1, and by means of this post, and the latch 17, the detent may be held out of operation. rlhe latch is pivoted at 18 in the top of thel casing,` and by means of the knob 19 may be disengaged from the post, the arcuate slot 20 in the top of the casing permitting swingingr movement of the latch from the outside of the casing.

Arranged parallel with the spring' detent 14, but within the casing. is a plunger bar 21 which is connected with the post within the casing by the arm 22, and a vertical finger piece 23 projects upwardly from the plunger through the slot 24 in the casing top so that the plunpger may be operated from outside the casing. The plunger is guided in a perforated bracket 25, within the casina. and in addition to its function llO v.Copies ofthis patent may be obtained for different sizes, that may be substitutedVV for the trough 11, to accommodate diiferent sizes and denominations of coins.

The modus operandi is as follows: With the spring detent 1li in position indicated in Fig. 2, the abutment arm 7 is adjusted to desired position with its free `end just withinthe open end of the trough. A wrapper or strip of paper is then placed in the `trough and the first coin is placed in the trough, onthe paper resting against the abutment;

Other coins a'reftlien placed in the trough, up to the desired amount, and then the knob 19 is turned to free the post 15 from the latch.k The spring 30 which has been under tension, forces the plunger tothe left in Fig. 2 to the dotted line position so that the spring detent engages against the face of the lastcoin and the series or pack of coins is'held between the abutment arm 7 and the spring detent 1d. The action of the spring plunger` also swings `the spring or curved nge-r 26 around to dotted position Fig; 2 and full line position Fig. 1 so that it guides the forward edge of the wrapping paperorstrip WV and holds it to insure proper wrapping. To wrap the stack of coins a rolling device R is employed, which has a friction belt or contact face that isrolled or passed over the top or upper face of the wrapper, asin Fig. 5, and with the result that' the pack of coins is revolved and the wrapper rolled upon itself to form a compact and smooth wrapper about the coins. The spring detent is now withdrawn by pressure on the finger piece 23, and this action also swings the curved guide finger to linoperative position.

Y The `right end of the wrapper may now be turned 'over the coins, the depression or pocket 5 allowing room for the fingers during this operation, and the abutment holding the pack of coins at the other end until the operation is completed. Then the pack may be taken fromthetrough and the other end have its edges folded over to complete theY wrappingg In this 'manner a neat,

smooth, and compact stack of 4coins is wrapped and ready for nal disposition as desired. While it is preferred that the rolling device be employed to wrap the paper about the stack of coins, it will be apparent that this may be done also by passing the fingers and palm of the hand over the paper and coins if desired, and the use of the wrapping or rolling device be omitted.

Claims:

1. The combination in a coin wrapping device with a trough containing a wrapper, an abutment atene end of the trough, and a movable detent alined with the abutment at the other end of the trough whereby the coins may be wrapped while held between the abutment and detent means for withdrawing the detent, and a guide for the wrapper connected to said means whereby ythe guide and detent may be moved to inoperative position.

2. The combination in a coin wrapping device with a trough containing a wrapper. an abutment at one end of the trough, and a movable detent at the other end of the trough alined with the abutment, means for moving the detent, and a guide linger for the wrapper operatively connected with said means whereby the detent and linger may be moved to inoperative position synchronously.

3. The combination in a coin wrapping device with a trough containing a wrapper, an abutment atone end of the trough, and a movable detent at the other end of the trough alined with the abutment, a holding latch for the detent, a spring pressed Aplunger connected with the detent, and a guide finger for the wrapper operatively .connected with the spring pressed plunger whereby the detent and linger may be moved to inoperative position synchronously.

4i. The combination in a coin w apping device with a trough containing a wrapper,
